Backslider's Wine
As the rain ruins my alibiI'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mindIt's not the sun bright pathThat called me from my homeIt's just that fine Backslider's wineCHORUS:My momma sings out in my memorySon, don't take that black eyed shineFight for your rightsBut, son don't fight for rightAnd do not drink Backslider's wineBut I took myself for a kind and loving soul'Til I found my face, face down on the bar room floorI was crying Jesus what have they done to meI cannot drink Backslider's wine no moreCHORUSAs the rain ruins my alibiI'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mindIt's not the sun bright pathThat called me from my homeIt's just that fine Backslider's wine
